Soft cover. Condition: Very Good. **Bundle Up & Save On Postage** Cover is lightly rubbed at edges, previous owner's embossed crest on first page, otherwise very clean and well bound 5.5 X 8.5" 189 pages. What's different about Esquimalt - where else would you find a tipsy cow in the naval rum stores; discover muskets and sabers… in an old Hudson's Bay warehouse; watch an oriental gentleman wade in from the sea on a wartime evening? These and other memories of people who grew up in Esquimalt in the years between 1900 and World War II are set against the colourful background of 19th century Esquimalt: the naval station and military forts; the huge pioneer HBC farms; the 1858 invasion of thousands of gold seekers; and the prosperity and genteel social life of the 1890s, described as a place of "jollity and laughter, notable houses and notable people." Illustrated by vintage black/white photographs.
